Although I have a CD-RW drive, I want to burn some audio CD's that that I will use just to convert to MP3's. This process will take longer than I would like if I use real CD-R's or especially CD-RW's. I know that most burner software will burn an image file, and that you cd access this image file with other software to make it look like a virtual CD-ROM.

My problem is that I have to burn from another application program that does not make image files. So what I need is a Virtual CD-RW, so I can fool the application into thinking it is burning a CW when it is really writing to a virtual image on the Hard Drive.

Does anybody know of any software that I can use for this purpose. Not a virtual CD-ROM but a virtual CD-RW?

Thanks for your reply. If I could just make wave files, I would. I want to convert my Audible book files to MP3 so I can listen on any device I please. However Audibles software will only download to specific registered devices or it will burn CD's. I just don't want to have to carry multiple 1 hour 12 minute CD's to listen to a book. This is why I need a virtual CD-RW drive.

Noteburner creates a virtual CD drive and can be used to convert DRM-protected music (ie iTunes) to unprotected formats. http://www.noteburner.com/. A DVD/RW virtual drive might be nice, as well as the ability to create ISOs from any program. DVD Decrypter http://www.mrbass.org/dvdrip/ can create ISO images from DVDs as well as burn them back to disc.
